SGD LL and dated 09. Letter affixed verso.L? Spilliaert, Belgian, (1881-1946) Dimensions: 9 3/4 x 14 Condition: good, we have now examined the painting out of the frame in response to a misunderstanding about a handwritten note later affixed to the backing paper.
The image on the backing paper of the Spilliaert showing a handwritten note is clearly identified as a transcription, possibly by a framer, of what was originally written on the actual Spilliaert. In fact, we have now removed the Spilliaert from its frame and we are adding photos of the original note from the actual Spilliaert, minus the later misspelling. Please note: the first image of the original handwritten note on the Spilliaert is darkened to make it easier to read. The other new images show the actual color of the reverse of the Spilliaert - the paper is not toned.
Condition reportgood, now examined out of frame in response to a concern about the original handwritten note on the reverse of the Spilliaert itself vs the later transcription on the backing paper.
